First Time to the Beach

Yesterday we left for vacation as soon as you woke up. We were on the road by 7am and had made it to Myrtle Beach shortly after 1pm. We had to make a couple of stops but you did well over all. The last thirty minutes we tough for you and you were tired of being in your car seat. You cried and cried! After lunch at a local burger place and going to the grocery store we checked into our room and took a nap. We enjoyed a great dinner of ribs and steak at Thorny's. Afterward we played a round of putt putt!  You were a real trooper considering we didn't get back to our room until after 10pm! This morning was extra special...after waking up we took you to the beach for your very first time! You were very calm and nonchalant with the water. As I held you, you enjoyed watching the waves come and crash around us. Sitting on the beach was an adventure! You wanted to scoot off the beach towels. Grabbing and playing with the sand was very entertaining for you! I had to really watch you because you kept wanting to eat the sand! We finally took you to the pool while daddy and Dax finished building their sand castle. Back in our room we cleaned up and took a nap. A huge crack of thunder woke you with a fright. Our evening included a seafood buffet, round two of putt putt and a night swim at the pool. You loved the the pool. I was so impressed with your splashing and kicking! You exhibited true swimming techniques and thoroughly had a great time playing in the water. It was great to see you not be scared of the water. Now you are snoozing away, completely exhausted from such a fun filled day! This has been a wonderful vacation so far and  I can't wait to see what our next few days have in store for us! It has been wonderful to see such big smiles on my boys' faces!
